Thinking it's time to put a halt to it
you know what I mean?
you've been there in the rub
looking for grubstakes
and
all of the handshakes
mean ****** all when your
belly feels like your
throat has been cut,
but
thinking don't put meat
on the plate.

And you say,
hey
slob
why don't you get a job,
in actual fact
I used to have one and
before you were born.

Everything's torn from me
in this age
of uncertainty
I wish I could go back and
be
fifteen again.
